Synopsis

Excerpt from Charters and Other Documents Relating to the Royal Burgh of Stirling: A. D. 1124-1705 In compliance with the instructions thus given, the present volume has been compiled. In addition to a number of miscellaneous documents, it embraces all the Royal Charters granted to the Burgh, the originals of which have been found, as well as others transcribed from the Great Seal Register where the originals were not available. The great bulk of the matter contained in the book has not been previously printed; but, to add to the completeness of the collection, especially in the earlier period, a few charters have been taken from some of the published chartularies and registers of religious houses issued by the Bannatyne and Grampian Clubs, and other publications have also been resorted to. In the Table of Contents will be found a reference to the source from which each document is taken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
